Introduction

There are few things in this world that draw closer to me than good music. I am not an expert by any means, but I know how music has affected me and how it can affect others. I enjoy writing songs as a hobby and sometimes as a mission. My hope is that my music will reach someone out there who has been looking for something that I write: music that is enjoyable to listen to, relates to an experience or emotion, but is clean in content.

My style ranges from acoustic rock, to pop, folk, alternative, country, and jazz. I am influenced by several artists from very different genres. I never know exactly how the next song will sound, but there is definitely a "brand" attached to each one I write.

Where I Want to Be - Video

I have posted a very amateur video of "Where I Want to Be" which I wrote a while back. The recording is not the best, but hope you can try to enjoy it! Trista was very nice in helping me get that done and stacking the books on the chair for a "tripod".

Drums and Piano

It has always been my dream to play every instrument I record with. In the next few weeks, I will be getting the Yamaha DD65 compact digital drumset. In the past, I have been able to record basically everything but drums. This will be a new adventure as I have not had a whole lot of experience with them. Also, I am working on a song with a focus on piano. I am taking lessons now, but wrote most of it before then!!

Feet on the Floor - New Video

I was able to find a video of me playing "Feet On the Floor." I wrote this song back in 2005. At the time my wife was gone a lot, so I wrote this about the feeling of having someone gone. In my case it was my wife, in your cases, who knows!!

Lyrics

I am trying to get things recorded, but thought it would be nice to at least get the words down on the blog. Here are the words to a song I just completed a few weeks ago and I hope to get some sort of recording up soon:

Goodbye

I don't mind if your eyes can see me, if your eyes can see me I don't mind
I won't lie though your words deceive me, though your words deceive me I won't lie.

Cause it's all in my head, the words you never said

What if I said goodbye to the tears you never cried? And I will, and I will, tonight.

You won't go away, unless I don't feel you. When you reach out, I won't reach back.
You can say what you say, I don’t care anyway. I know who I am, and I know who you are.

Cause it's all in my head, the words you never said

What if I said goodbye to the tears you never cried? And I will, and I will, tonight.

I'm free when I'm without you, I believe what I am meant to do
And I see all the colors I could not see, I'm free, I'm free

Sorry!

Sorry I have been so late in getting back on. I have finished a few more songs and seem to be in a bit of a writing frenzy trying to get all the ideas I have down on paper. I am taking some steps to get things geared up with my laptop to begin again.
